Freemasons of Carpentaria

Freemasons have been active in Far North Queensland since 1886 when Gregory Lodge was first opened in Cairns. They are attentive to the needs of their local community and aspire to be a positive influence.

The District Grand Lodge of Carpentaria administers 25 Lodges right across Far North Queensland, holden under the United Grand Lodge of Queensland in Brisbane, which oversees some 260 Lodges throughout the state.

The District is also home to a number of other Orders, such as the Order of the Eastern Star which is an Order open to women.
